Process for purification of alkyl methacrylates

ABSTRACT

Alkyl methacrylates are obtained free of impurities such as alkyl butyrates and assorted alkyl iodides by the partial crystallization of the crude alkyl methacrylate composition and subsequently contacting said crystals of alkyl methacrylate with liquid alkyl methacrylate to thereby free the crystals of occluded impurities.
